agmt the old north state saturday evening january 0 1867 the following amusing chapter from tlm 1st book of chronicles was read by miss taylor at the recent examination of tin yoii b l.m.ll..a n f concord female col lege at statesvillo n c it chronicles the events which transpired there from the time of the approach of stoueiiiau's raid ers to the present but iu order that our readers may be able to understand and ful ly appreciate the narrative some explana tion of the different characters may be ne cessary king john is the rev john m m caldwell the worthy president ofthe college queen caroline is his wife prince samuel aud prince john their sons mr samuel and master john caldwell to enable the reader to understand it more fully it is necessary to say that president caldwell married a pennsylvania lady and was well known to many of the people of that state before the war and that just previous to his coming to statesville he had resided for some years iu the finely watered state of georgia the prophet samuel is pro samuel stevenson kli the former music teacher of the college who went off upon the ap proach of the raiders aud never returned i-ady lucy ; miss lucy ruggl'-s a tuto ress of the institution and a sister of gen haggles of tennessee henry the present music teacher ; joseph the merchant mr joseph w stockton of statesville 1st chronicles chai-teu tuird now it came to pass in the second year of the reign of king john that an exceed ing great army of the philistines was sent thro the country to waste and destroy it and as the army drew nigh unto the city tietlottl luitiiy of ilie jieojile bccmni r x j ceedlngly affrighted and likewise many of the maidens of the queen's household inso much that some of them fled before the face of the philistines and went to their own home ; and queen caroline said unto her lord the king what shall we do 1 for behold the busts of tbe philistines will come upon us and spoil us of our goods and take our bread and our clothing from us our orna ments of silver and gold and the money that is in our purses peradventure also they will take captive my son samuel who is of age to go to war and who has served iu the army that fought against the philis tines for the queen had heard what the ar mies ofthe great king abraham had done to the people of the south and east coun try how the had robbed them of their jew els of gold and had carried away their goodly raiment and their precious treasures and the king answered and said unto her heboid this will we do ; let my son even my first born.fion the prince samuel saddle my horse and harness my mule to the wagon and let him take with him bread and changes of raiment and a store of pre cious things and let him go a day's jour ney into tbe wilderness peradventure they will will not find him nnd thus we shall save a portion of our goods so the prince samuel did ns the king had said and he took with him servants and changes of raiment and treasures and went a day's journey iuto the wilderness and the philistines found him not and when the king heard that the phi listines had come both he aud the prophet samuel went in unto tho captain of the guard and entreated that favor might be shown unto his household for the sake of the queen and her maidens and tho captain of tho guard spake peaceably nto the king and promised that the soldiers should do him no harm nevertheless the king feared within him self lest some evil might bsfttll him so he called the queen and said to her o queen the eaptaiu of the guard promises us safe ty but now lest perchance he may fail to do that he hath hid hearken unto me and i will show thee what we will do do tliou gather thy costly changes of raiment thv jewels thy silver spoons and forks and likewise the jewels and treasures of thy maiden and i will hide them hi a secret place near the topmost roof of the palace where the philistines cannot find them in a cunning place which my son the prince john hath told me of aud the queen did as the king had commanded and the treasures were hidden so that no philistine could find them and at midnight the king rose up and i the prophet samuel with him and the took pices oi swines flesh from the cellar and carried them to the upper story of the pal ii oven up three flights of stairs and con cealed them ther for the king said lest haply they takeaway my meat and i have not wherewithal to feed the maiden of the qikf-u's lioudthulu and very early in the morning a great while before day when the king rose uji and looked out of his winddw behold the philistines were encamped in the yard of the palace with their horses and their mules a mighty host and they broke open the king's ptore house and took from thence corn and fod der for their beasts and meat for their men ; they broke down also the fence that wits _...._ a k nalium and built theui fires wherewith to warm themselves and tho bo many of the hos's of the philistines were encamped round about them yet were not the queen and her maidens affrighted as they supposed they should have been insomuch that when it was day the maidens went out into the yard of the palace and many of the officers and chief captains ceme up and talutcd them and spake peaceably unto them but the chief musician of thu place eli whose surname was krutch when he heard that the philistines were coming became exceeding affrighted so that his hair btood up like quills upon the porcupine aud his eyes started out of his head like the eyes of the rabbit when the hunter is pursuing him and he took with him a change of rai ment aud departed from the palace in fear aud great haste and fled from before the face of the philistines many days journey unto the mountaines of the west country and the king saw him no more now it came to pass after many days that peace was restored and the land had rest nevertheless here was great suffer ing auddistress in the land by reason nf the war and the kings affairs prospered and his household multiplied so that there was no king like him in all the laud but the queen began to be in want of dishes for the service of her table of plates and knives aud spoons to set before her maidens ; likewise also the stove with its vessels of iron was broken in pieces so that she was sorely vexed to prepare bread and meat fqr her household and when the king saw the trouble and distress of the queen he was much grieved thereat and he said behold i will go to the people wi ll 2-tortl couiilry wrnofra ill ,. in enough and to spare it may be they will open their hearts aud give me money and treasures and vessels for the convenience of jny household ; for verily my own peo ple are too poor to help me and the king rose up and took with him the queen and went many day's journey among the people of the north country and he found favor among those that had known him aforetime and they gave him money and vessels of earthenware and iron and tin for the use of his household and the king took of the money that was given him and bought therewith a stove of curious workmanship with vess els of iron and tin and copper and the quceu was so pleased with it that she set it up in a corner room of the palace as thou lookest toward the southwest and when the king saw that the queen had been for a long time presiding over her maidens in the great hall of the palace aud that she needed rest he made diligent search among his kinfolk and acquaintance end found the lady lucy who had become famous as a teacher iu the laud of the tennesseans and the king brought her to his house and set her over the maidens in the great hall instead of queen caroline and the lady lucy ruled over the maid ens with a strong hand and made them obedient to her laws and they did what ever she commanded them and against the disobedient she set marks so that they feared exceedingly to transgress her com mands and the king was pleased when be saw how wisely the lady lucy ruled over the maidens and he said behold now there is no household iu all the land so well order ed as mine hut the king's chief musician was gone and the king was much troubled thereat and the king heard of the fame of henry whose father had come from the land of the germans and who had taken to i im a wife from the daughters of virginia and the king sent letters to him entreating him to come and be his chief musician so he came he and his wife with him and they abode in the palace with tin king and he g wo instruction to tin maid ens iii music and taught them to piny skillfully with their lingers upon the clari cliard anil to sing so thill their voices pleased the ear of the king uud queen aud of all who heard them and it came to puss that the water of the well that was in the yard ofthe kings palace did fail by reason of the earlli thai fell down from lln sides of the well inso much that the servants of ilia king could get liom thence no wa'cr for his house hold and the queen was greatly troubled and she spake unto her lord the king and said unto him behold now we cun draw no water from the well neither for ourselves nor for the sons nor for tin maidens that ; are wild us hast thou brought mn out ofthe land of georgia from a country well ! watered and abounding iu springs nml brooks of water to this barren laud to ner ish of thirst i and iny children and my rraidcns with mo ? and the king was sorely grieved at heart when he saw the distress of the queen and he went unto joseph the mer chant a cunning man â€” a wise man and said unto him behold now thou art a wise and skilful man come therefore with me and show me where 1 may dig for a well and find water and straightway joseph harnessed his .. _.... .. â€” â€¢â€¢â– â€” â€” â€¢- -â€¢-â€¢ â€ž Â» .. j i went into the king's garden and cut a forked branch from a peach tree that grew in the garden and he took the ends of the ! fork and held them iu the palms of his two hands cunningly so that the joint of the stick pointed upward toward the heav ens and he walked about in the yard of the palace holding the stick fast in his hands and when he came to a certain place be hold the joint of the branch turned of its own accord and pointed downward to the earth aud when tiie king and the prophet samuel saw the stick that it turned of it self and pointed downward they were as tonished beyond measure and they said we never saw it before on this fashion and joseph the merchant said unto the king in this place where then ick pointed downward mayest thou dig and find wa ter and again he did the same on the other side even on the uorth side of the palace and when he came to a certain place on the north side behold the stick turned the sec ond time and pointed downward and joseph said unto the king here also may est thou dig and find water and when he had shown the king these things he departed to his own house and it came to pass after a time that upon a set day the prophet samuel made a feast in his house and invited the king and queen and the lady lucy and like wise the chief musician henry and his wife and it was so that when the maidens saw that the king and queen and the la dy lucy were to be gone from the palace cor n l.ttlo oÂ»*,\hon tl.cy n.jiiic.il i'x,-i-od ingly for they said within themselves behold now when they are gone wc will enjoy ourselves and have our own pleas ure for a little while howbei by reason of a great storm that arose the lady lucy could not go to the feast and when the maidens saw that she was not going from the palace then countenances fell and they became sorrow ful and they said one to another behold now all our fun is spoiled but after the feast was over and the king had returned to the palace the chief musician and his wife and the prince john and some of the older maidens who were skilful made an entertainment for the maid ens in the palace of the king and they laughed and made merry until a late hour so that the maidens forgot their grief for the joy ofthe entertainment now the rest of the acts of king john and the glory of his reign behold are they not all written in the book of the chroni cles of the kings of concord public benefaction we learn that col tate the energetic president of the w n 0 railroad has effected an arrangement with the n c road to reduce the freight on corn from :>.') to 12 cents per bushel from salisbury to charlotte this will afford more mar gin to the purchasers of corn in this mar ket and greater inducements for the fanners of this and adjoiningcountics to bring their corn and other products to statesville where they are certain to obtain in cash or trade the highest market rates farmers will always lind it to their interest to sell at the nearest market town where induce ments are offered and not travel with teams to a'great distance especially iu cold weath er or the busy season of the year in crop j time merchants likewise will find it to their ; in crest and should profit by the

and queen caroline said unto her lord the king what shall we do 1 for behold the busts of tbe philistines will come upon us and spoil us of our goods and take our bread and our clothing from us our orna ments of silver and gold and the money that is in our purses peradventure also they will take captive my son samuel who is of age to go to war and who has served iu the army that fought against the philis tines for the queen had heard what the ar mies ofthe great king abraham had done to the people of the south and east coun try how the had robbed them of their jew els of gold and had carried away their goodly raiment and their precious treasures and the king answered and said unto her heboid this will we do ; let my son even my first born.fion the prince samuel saddle my horse and harness my mule to the wagon and let him take with him bread and changes of raiment and a store of pre cious things and let him go a day's jour ney into tbe wilderness peradventure they will will not find him nnd thus we shall save a portion of our goods so the prince samuel did ns the king had said and he took with him servants and changes of raiment and treasures and went a day's journey iuto the wilderness and the philistines found him not and when the king heard that the phi listines had come both he aud the prophet samuel went in unto tho captain of the guard and entreated that favor might be shown unto his household for the sake of the queen and her maidens and tho captain of tho guard spake peaceably nto the king and promised that the soldiers should do him no harm nevertheless the king feared within him self lest some evil might bsfttll him so he called the queen and said to her o queen the eaptaiu of the guard promises us safe ty but now lest perchance he may fail to do that he hath hid hearken unto me and i will show thee what we will do do tliou gather thy costly changes of raiment thv jewels thy silver spoons and forks and likewise the jewels and treasures of thy maiden and i will hide them hi a secret place near the topmost roof of the palace where the philistines cannot find them in a cunning place which my son the prince john hath told me of aud the queen did as the king had commanded and the treasures were hidden so that no philistine could find them and at midnight the king rose up and i the prophet samuel with him and the took pices oi swines flesh from the cellar and carried them to the upper story of the pal ii oven up three flights of stairs and con cealed them ther for the king said lest haply they takeaway my meat and i have not wherewithal to feed the maiden of the qikf-u's lioudthulu and very early in the morning a great while before day when the king rose uji and looked out of his winddw behold the philistines were encamped in the yard of the palace with their horses and their mules a mighty host and they broke open the king's ptore house and took from thence corn and fod der for their beasts and meat for their men ; they broke down also the fence that wits _...._ a k nalium and built theui fires wherewith to warm themselves and tho bo many of the hos's of the philistines were encamped round about them yet were not the queen and her maidens affrighted as they supposed they should have been insomuch that when it was day the maidens went out into the yard of the palace and many of the officers and chief captains ceme up and talutcd them and spake peaceably unto them but the chief musician of thu place eli whose surname was krutch when he heard that the philistines were coming became exceeding affrighted so that his hair btood up like quills upon the porcupine aud his eyes started out of his head like the eyes of the rabbit when the hunter is pursuing him and he took with him a change of rai ment aud departed from the palace in fear aud great haste and fled from before the face of the philistines many days journey unto the mountaines of the west country and the king saw him no more now it came to pass after many days that peace was restored and the land had rest nevertheless here was great suffer ing auddistress in the land by reason nf the war and the kings affairs prospered and his household multiplied so that there was no king like him in all the laud but the queen began to be in want of dishes for the service of her table of plates and knives aud spoons to set before her maidens ; likewise also the stove with its vessels of iron was broken in pieces so that she was sorely vexed to prepare bread and meat fqr her household and when the king saw the trouble and distress of the queen he was much grieved thereat and he said behold i will go to the people wi ll 2-tortl couiilry wrnofra ill ,. in enough and to spare it may be they will open their hearts aud give me money and treasures and vessels for the convenience of jny household ;
